Boeing announced Monday that it has delivered the 500th Combat Track II airborne intelligence kit to the Air Force. These systems give aircrews on B-1B and B-52H bombers and C-130 and C-17 transports enhanced situational awareness and allow for faster, secure information sharing among these aircraft and ground command centers. “These systems allow aircrews to respond to threats more quickly and effectively,” said Capt. Scott Frank, USAF’s Combat Track program manager.
The last remaining T-1 Jayhawk at JBSA-Randolph, Texas, took its final flight to the "Boneyard" at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., on July 15. The 99th Flying Training Squadron will train pilots using T-6 and simulator until it gets T-7 Red Hawk in fiscal 2026.
